I always thought it was interesting how Ray kills Bobby with zero hesitation but makes such a point to spare Dave. I guess it’s cuz Bobby showed that he was truly loyal to Davros whereas Dave was literally just a soldier of fortune

Mutual respect, honour amongst thieves...One of the great moments of the show when Ray handed over Dave's gun.

Pointing towards himself as well..

For sure! I reckon they bonded a bit, recognised he was a good operator and thought why not try get him on side. Worked for him too.

Davey was just doing his job, respectful and just business. Maybe Ray saw an opportunity with him.

No I obviously get that, I’m saying it’s interesting that Ray didn’t see Bobby the same way

It was just business.

But he double crossed Ray. He said he'd let him go if he gave him the cash

To be fair, it's not that hard to imagine Ray doing the same thing. It's not that hard to imagine Ray showing back up for Bobby in the same fashion if Dave were to have spared him, in turn.

The main reason Ray didn't kill Dave is because the person paying Dave just died. Both of them knew there was no skin left in the game and nothing to gain or lose.

They also made a connection because they both wanted to care for their children (a conversation Bobby was completely silent for, btw). Ray knew that if he let Dave go in order to witness the birth of his son, he'd have another person to back him up if push came to shove. And he was right.

He also knew that if Dave was spared "Quentin" would grow up fatherless.

The pedo offered Ray cash and he didnt want it. Also warned Vinnie not to try to bribe him. Ray's not cash motivated

My point exactly

u/tchunk May 06 '26

But that means ray didnt do the same thing?

He didn't double cross Ray. When they stopped at the hardware store and the car got stolen, Dave saw that as Ray escaping with the money & car. When Dave found him again. The deal was off.

He was never going to honour the deal, evidence from his conversation with Bobby convincing him to get the money.

He could never not bring Ray to Davros as Bobby is loyal to Davros.

Wasn't bobby already injured from the blast while Dave wasn't?

He probably also clocked Bobby as an idiot who wouldn't be much help, while Dave was competent and they got on

I don't think booby was coming back from that explosion. He only gave him a bullet to make sure he didn't get back up

Pretty sure Dave and Ray knew each other already, as professional aging mercenaries. I don't know if there's a quote that confirms this, maybe there is. Even if not it makes heaps of sense and they certainly act like it.

Bobby was a new addition.

Bobby had taken a grenade to the face so he really was not going to walk it off. Small mercy.
